The book doesn't tell you much about quantum computing. It says quantum computers have potential to solve hard problems, and then spends 90% of the book giving examples of hard problems.

Maybe it's because I've begun reading quite a few books on AI & the quantum computing required for AIs true progression that I wasn't super impressed with this book. I know it seems jaded to be responding this way when you consider the almost other-worldly awesomeness that quantum computing is and will enable, but that was my reaction here. Maybe I just need a break?

The first half felt like a review. There were some good parts in the last 25% of the book.

Maybe this book is a good introduction for a first time foray into this area to show the breadth and scope of advancements that are legitimately on the table due to quantum computing. It felt a bit like that may have been it's audience.

I think the obvious negatives inherent in these developments were very much glossed over, while I appreciate a more eyes wide open approach.

Poorly executed philosophy masquerading as science. If you’re interested in the science of quantum computers, look into Jack Hidiary’s book or Mermim’s “Quantum Computer Science.”
